Dynamics of mechanical waves in periodic graphene nanoribbon assemblies

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We simulate the natural frequencies and the acoustic wave propagation characteristics of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of the type (8,0) and (0,8) using an equivalent atomistic-continuum FE model previously developed by some of the authors, where the C-C bonds thic...
